Shock exit: this European nation already out of the World Cup 😱 | OneFootball

Nice atmosphere.

Denmark, Greece, Scotland, Belarus. This Group C of the qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup was arguably the most open and uncertain of all in Europe.

But this Sunday evening, with two matches remaining in these qualifications, the two nations already eliminated from the race to the World Cup are officially known!

In addition to Belarus, Greece will not participate in the next World Cup, it's official!

After their 3-1 defeat in Denmark this Sunday evening and with three points on the board, the Greeks are seven points behind Denmark and Scotland and can no longer make it into the top 2.

The Danes and Scots are guaranteed to at least participate in the qualifying playoff in a few months.

The two countries will compete for the first place in the group (which means direct qualification) during the next international break in November.

Announced as the underdog of this Group C and led by high-quality players like Vangelis Pavlidis, Christos Tzolis, Konstantinos Karetsas, or Kostas Tsimikas, Greece will once again miss a major international competition.

The last participation of the team in a World Cup dates back to 2014, and the last Euro was in 2012.
